NAME
       XmStringGetNextComponent - A compound string function that returns the type and value of the next component in a compound string

SYNOPSIS
       #include <Xm/Xm.h>

       XmStringComponentType XmStringGetNextComponent (context, text, tag, direction, unknown_tag, unknown_length, unknown_value)
	       XmStringContext context;
	       char **text;
	       XmStringCharSet *tag;
	       XmStringDirection *direction;
	       XmStringComponentType *unknown_tag;
	       unsigned short *unknown_length;
	       unsigned char **unknown_value;

DESCRIPTION
       XmStringGetNextComponent  returns the type and value of the next component in the compound string identified by context.  It is a low-level
       component function.  Components are returned one at a time.  On return, only some output parameters will be valid; which ones can be deter-
       mined  by  examining  the  return  status.  In the case of text, tag, and direction components, only one output parameter is valid.  If the
       return status indicates an unknown component was encountered, the font list element tag, length, and value  are	returned.   This  function
       allocates  the  space  necessary  to hold returned values; freeing this space is the caller's responsibility.  Specifies the string context
       structure which was allocated by the XmStringInitContext function.  Specifies a pointer to a null terminated string.  Specifies	a  pointer
       to  the	font  list  element tag associated with the text.  The value XmFONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG identifies a locale text segment.  Specifies a
       pointer to the direction of the text.  Specifies a pointer to the tag of an unknown component.  Specifies a pointer to  the  length  of	an
       unknown component.  Specifies a pointer to the value of an unknown component.

RETURN VALUE
       Returns the type of component found. Following are the possible values: XmSTRING_COMPONENT_CHARSET

	      This  component  is  obsolete  and  remains  for	compatibility  with  previous  releases.   It has been replaced by XmSTRING_COMPO-
	      NENT_FONTLIST_ELEMENT_TAG.     XmSTRING_COMPONENT_FONTLIST_ELEMENT_TAG	 XmSTRING_COMPONENT_LOCALE_TEXT     XmSTRING_COMPONENT_TAG
	      XmSTRING_COMPONENT_TEXT XmSTRING_COMPONENT_DIRECTION XmSTRING_COMPONENT_SEPARATOR XmSTRING_COMPONENT_END XmSTRING_COMPONENT_UNKNOWN
